SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 737,232, dated August 25, 1903.

Application filed November 4, 1902. Serial No. 130,098. (No model.) X

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES H. I-IEELEY, residing at East Orange, and ALMON D. PAGE and ALICK G. MACANDREW, residing at Newark, State of New Jersey, have invented Improvements in Index Memorandum-Books, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention-is an index contained within a pocket, and is intended to provide a cardindex in lieu of the ordinary memorandum having fixed pages, the invention being adapted to the limits of a pocket of such size as to be readily carried about the person.

In the accompanying drawings we have shown the index as being arranged alphabetioally; butit will be understood that the cards may be numbered, if this is found preferable or desirable, or, indeed, they may be arranged to receive the alphabet and numbers as well.

Figure 1 is a front View of a pocket embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 shows one of the indexcards; Fig. 4, one of the inserted cards, while Fig. 5 shows a sectional view with the inserted cards raised.

A represents a case made of suitable material and having a pocket 0;, adapted to receive the indexes and the interposed cards, while a flap 0 serves as a cover. The cards bearing indexes are made of any suitable material and in the ordinary way, but are preferably provided centrally of their bottom edge with a cut-out portion, as at d. A band e is preferably secured to the back wall of the pocket and extends over the edge of the front wall,

this band being directly in line with the cutout portions in the index-card s,and the weight of the card will carry the loop of the band to the bottom of the pocket. The end of the band projects, and when it is necessary to secure access to the cards the band 1 is simply pulled upon, and the intervening cards will be drawn up first, while further-strain upon the band will raise the index. This makes a very convenient method of gaining access to the contents of the pocket. The inserted cards between the cards bearing the indexes We prefer not to make Withthecut-out por- CHAS. H.
